Make Your Own: Candy-Flavored Vodka Part 2

Jolly Ranchers and Skittles of five different colors, each placed in a cup with about a half inch of vodka.

Keeping it classy, we let the mixture "mellow," stirring it every time it gets film on top.

Drink the rainbow!

Using coffee filters or paper towels, we pour the mixture through our homemade sieve, to catch all the candy bits that haven't dissolved. Don't want chunky liquor!

Here's where you'll run into problems if you're not careful: this stuff is majorly sweet, so you might forget that you're basically drinking pure vodka. You need to add a mixture! Says Lilit of the pre-7Up vodka: It takes like cough syrup

My "blue raspberry" wasn't going down so well, so I added a touch of lemon Skittle! Now I have something resembling Ecto-Cooler, and it tastes delicious!

Like, really krunk. Especially good for girls who don't like anything besides Malt-inis or Cosmos. Just remember to drink a lot of water, because this stuff will dehydrate you with all the sugar!

Ashley says: "Not as bad as regular vodka."

Lilit: "The first time around, it tasted like kids’ cough syrup (the sickly-sweet kind, not the sorta-medicinal kind). After adding some 7Up, it tasted like mildly boozy Hi-C. But then something else happened. The drink started talking to me. It must have been the combination of the 7Up and the Skittleness, but something kept making little bubbly noises reminiscent of baby birds chirping. I think it said 'Stop drinking in the middle of the day.'"

Drew: I am still drinking this.
Success!
